Jadavpur, West Bengal: A shocking case of discrimination came forth after a father of a five-year-old was insulted and mocked by the school administration when he approached them to enroll his daughter in the school. The father of the five-year-old alleged that the child was denied admission on the basis of their caste. The father was left absolutely dejected after the admission office of the Jadavpur Vidyapith School of Kolkata in which he wanted his five-year-old daughter to study outrightly denied permission to admit his daughter in their school.

While Rajasthan has been an underperformer as far as giving admissions to poor children under the Right to Education (RTE) Act is concerned ever since the Act was implemented, these are the private schools who are major defaulters and the state government is not initiating any action against them.
